Rafters: Take Two!

     Patience is a virtue, particularly when it comes to building. There's weather to contend with... scheduling to juggle... And let us not forget the human element (which is to say when storms blow through and your roof's not on, you may find yourself repeating some steps).
     The good news is, we now have stronger rafters, with better reinforcements. (Helps to have engineers for neighbors and contractors with insurance.)
      Meanwhile, as with gardens, so with barns: it takes a village. As for mine, we all have our tasks...

Dogs are in charge of oversight 

Goats -- branch management

Workers are in charge of spoiling things

And I'm in charge of sweet tea.
